Question : PHP MYsql only last line of csv file is imported

Hi there I have a CSV file that I am trying to import into a database. All the sql side of things is well and I can import no problem. However it only seems to import the last line of the file. Here is the code I am using.

1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
foreach($arr as $str)
{
	list($name,$price,$Description)=explode(",",$str);
}
$sql="INSERT INTO test1 (name, price, Description) VALUES ('$name', '$price', '$Description')";

$result=mysql_query($sql);

It seems to work fine when I print the output to screen as follows.

1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:
10:
11:
12:
13:
$arr=file("conts.csv");

    foreach($arr as $str)
    {
    list($name,$price,$Description)=explode(",",$str);

    echo "<li>".$name;
    echo "<li>".$price;
    echo "<li>".$Description;

    echo "<hr>";
    }

Anyone have ideas about what may be causing my issue?

Answer : PHP MYsql only last line of csv file is imported

This is untested code, and it's kind of minimalist from the perspective of error-handling, but maybe it will provide some guidance on the usual patterns involved in loading a data base with information from a CSV file.
